We met with the architect from our contractor today concerning the 3-season room addition. I think we made a great deal of progress; he said as we were wrapping up that we’re pretty close to a full spec now.<\/p>\n
The previous tentative design had included the use of wooden screen\/storm doors as wall panels. We had some concerns about this design largely surrounding ease of switchover between glass & screen panels. The architect had an alternate proposal for us today that uses sliding patio doors rather than panels, for about the same cost. We think this will work great.<\/p>\n
We had some discussions concerning hip roof vs. gable end, skylight or no, whether the front wall (facing the road) will have a kneewall, floor height with respect to the main house, etc. He is going to price out the various options, and we’ll make a decision.<\/p>\n
Also on the porch front, some surveyor markings magically appeared on our sidewalk yesterday — including a mysterious flag marked “stone bound” set into a dug-up area near the property corner — so I suspect we will see the land surveyor’s output relatively soon and we’ll see where we stand with respect to setback issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
